Figure 2From: Hypertonic saline reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse brain edema through inhibiting aquaporin 4 expressionBrain water content in LPS group, HS group, and control group. The percentage of brain water content was significantly increased in LPS-treated mice at 8 hours and 12 hours following LPS injection when compared with the corresponding controls. However, treatment with 3% NaCl attenuated the increase in brain water content at 8 hours and 12 hours after LPS injection. (single star) P < 0.05 versus control group. (single triangle) P < 0.05 versus LPS group. HS, hypertonic saline; LPS, lipopolysaccharide.Back to article page
